1.5 分,满分 30 分) Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read a book on tape. But it 36 a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a youngster I stuttered(口吃) 37 badly that I was completely 38 to speak in public. 39 , when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor. English was his 40 subject; poetry was his deepest love. He held a book of poems 41 it were a diamond necklace, turning pages as if uncovering treasures. When he heard our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he could no longer 42 not being a part of our school. When he 43 that I not only loved poetry but was 44 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 45 between us-Professor Crouch could not stand the 46 that I

refused to read my poems to the class. "Jim, poetry is 47 to be read aloud," he said. "You should be able to speak those beautiful words." I shook my head and 48 . Then he tricked me. After handing in a poem, I waited for his 49 . It didn't come. Instead, one day as the students gathered together, he challenged me." Jim, I don't think you wrote this." I 50 him in disbelief. "Why," I started, anger flooding me. "of course I 51 !" "Well, then," he said, "you've got to prove it by getting up and reciting it 52 memory." By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood 53 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through! Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and 54 me to read other writers' poetry before public. Before long I discovered I did have a(n) 55 and found my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.

Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)-or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we're getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle(奇迹) of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process(过程). But growing old? That's a different story. Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, "You're as young as you feel." Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least "young at heart." Many older Americans find the "golden years" to be anything but golden. Economically, "senior citizens" often struggle just to get by. Retirement(退休) at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security(安全) benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older

people may suffer from poor nutrition(营养), medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely-even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged "baby boomers" are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are "in". Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.
59.Growing up is a wonderful thing because . A.people can celebrate their birthdays B.people can become more mature and wiser C.people can receive many presents D.people will feel younger at heart
60.We can infer from the second paragraph that . A.young people lack experience and wisdom B.American older people often joke about their old age C.American culture is very young D.different countries have different opinions on the old age

3) means "." A.The golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care B.The old people in America are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or Housing C.The old in America have to retire at the age of 65 D.American social security benefits are not good
62.From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word "in" can be replaced by . A.serious B.bad C.disappearing slowly D.growing fast D More than seven hundred students will serve for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games not as volunteers but as interns(实习生), working for months before the event and during the Games to help ensure its success. A co-operation agreement was signed between the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (GOCOG) and 16 Beijing-based universities and colleges. The schools will prepare the students to be interns. Although the interns will work without pay, they are considered different to volunteers, who will also provide services for the Games. Well-known schools such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, Beijing Normal University and Beijing Jiaotong University are included on the list. The interns will work much longer than the Games' volunteers, since they have to begin their work at BOCOG as early as one year before the Games start, while most of the volunteers work only during the 16 days of the Games. They have to finish the required lessons of their universities first and then learn more in their specialities to qualify to work for the BOCOG. They will take some special classes on Olympic knowledge and certain professional lessons outside the university to meet the needs of serving in the Olympics. The 706 interns will be made up of 446 postgraduates, 118 undergraduates and 142 higher vocational students. They will come from such majors as foreign languages, media and communications, logistics and legal affairs. According to university officials, the undergraduates will be students who have been admitted to college this year (20
05) while the postgraduates will be those who enter next year.
68.The interns will be chosen from . A.students whose homes are in Beijing B.students studying in Beijing C.only 6 famous schools D.schools all over China
69.What's the difference between the interns and the volunteers? A.The volunteers receive no pay. B.The interns work during the Games.

67. If you suddenly received a lot of money, how would you spend it? For the people of Tuvalu, a tiny state comprising nine islands in the South Pacific, something unusual happened. In 1999 Tuvalu, with its population of 11,000, was the third poorest state in the world. Later, Tuvalu received a domain name on the Internet ?? the letters ".tv". A communication company from California quickly offered to buy the domain name for $ 40 million. The islanders became very rich.
68.At the same time the islanders received some very bad news. Due to global warming, and because the islands are only 3m above sea level, Tuvalu will probably become the first state in the world to disappear under the sea. According to scientific estimates, the islands will suffer severe floods within the next 15 - 20 years, and by the end of the century, the islands will have disappeared from sight altogether.
69.But despite the problem, the Tuvaluan had their new money. Paul Lindsay, a documentary film - maker, went all the way to Tuvalu, and came back with an incredible story. As the water rises, the Tuvaluan are using the money to develop the land that is soon to disappear. They are building new houses, planning nightclubs, restaurants and hotels, and new cars are driving around on new roads. "Just because we are sinking, it doesn't mean we don't want to raise our standards of living." Lindsay was told by Sam Teo, Tuvalu' s minister for natural resources.
70.Of the $ 40 million Tuvalu received through the Internet deal, $ 10 million was used to asphalt the islands' L9km of roads. Before 1999 there were four cars on the islands. The Tuvaluan used to walk or cycle everywhere. There was a flood of imported foods and goods and soon these had unexpected consequences. The Tuvaluan people now suffer from diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Others discovered that it was too expensive for them to keep their cars. There is now a huge rubbish dump in the middle of this tropical paradise, covered with abandoned cars and other waste. Ⅴ.Spelling(10 points)

2.The dictionary will be of great b(益处) to me.
3.The young writer owed his success to his teacher's e(鼓励).
